Andrew Sullivan Takes Up LyingGet this
hilarious claim:
Four years later, no real plan is in place. We are still on our own. After all that money poured into homeland defense, we still have no capacity to act swiftly to save lives after a major attack. This is not only a betrayal of his campaign promises; it's a betrayal of war leadership; and, much worse, it's an invitation to our enemies to attack. That's why I endorsed his opponent last November: demonstrated incompetence.Nonsense. Here's
Andrew from February 2004:
The president has made it easy. He's a simple man and he divides the world into friends and foes. He has now made a whole group of Americans - and their families and their friends - his enemy. We have no alternative but to defend ourselves and our families from this attack. And we will.It's all about the Federal Marriage Amendment with Andrew Sullivan. This stuff about it being all about competence is just face-saving. Read his posts before February 24, 2004 (when the president endorsed the FMA) and after, and there is a clear dividing line.
I used to have a lot of respect for Andrew. Like many other folks, his blog was the first one I started reading. But it definitely looks like he's gone over to the dark side and is now picking up their habit of dissembling about motives.
